bronchoalveolar lavage การใช้

• Inhaled pentamidine is mainly deposited into the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the lungs.
• Histopathology of lung biopsy or bronchoalveolar lavage may indicate lipid-laden macrophages.
• The most suitable specimens are the sputum, or when clinically necessary, bronchoalveolar lavage or biopsy.
• The genome of " P . jirovecii " has been sequenced from a bronchoalveolar lavage sample.
• While radiographs can be helpful for diagnosis, airway sampling through transtracheal wash or bronchoalveolar lavage is often necessary.
• Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage reveals up to 40 % lymphocytes, along with more subtle increases in neutrophils and eosinophils.
• The bronchoalveolar lavage ( BAL ) fluid of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis contains a higher concentration of ATP than that of control subjects.
• In carcinoma in situ, atypical cells may be identified by cytologic smear test of sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage or samples from endobronchial brushings.
• These modifiers have been shown to improve asthma symptoms, reduce asthma exacerbations and limit markers of inflammation such as eosinophil counts in the peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
• In particular, bronchoalveolar lavage is commonly used to diagnose infections in people with ventilators, some types of lung cancer, and scarring of the lung ( interstitial lung disease ).
• A bronchoalveolar lavage can show an elevated ( of at least 3.5 ) CD4 / CD8 T cell ratio, which is indicative ( but not proof ) of pulmonary sarcoidosis.
• For PCR testing, the WHO recommends obtaining samples from the lower respiratory tract via bronchoalveolar lavage ( BAL ), sputum sample or tracheal aspirate as these have the highest viral loads.
• Subsequent studies of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from pediatric patients with asthma and also other severe chronic respiratory illnesses have demonstrated that over 50 percent had evidence of C . pneumoniae by direct organism identification.
• In some cases, a bronchoalveolar lavage may be carried out-an endoscope is used to look down the trachea, and mucus and cells are washed out of the lower airways for analysis.
• Elevated levels of IL-17A have been found in the sputum and in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with asthma and a positive correlation between IL-17A production and asthma severity has been established.
• "P . acnes " can be found in bronchoalveolar lavage of approximately 70 % of patients with sarcoidosis and is associated with disease activity, but it can be also found in 23 % of controls.
• H + measured as pH, hydrogen peroxide, proteins, cytokines, eicosanoids, and macromolecules such as mucin, phospholipids and DNA . Dilution is an issue that is a problem with all methods of sampling the airway and lungs including sputum collection and bronchoalveolar lavage.
• "' Bronchoalveolar lavage "'( BAL; informally, " bronchoalveolar washing " ) is a medical procedure in which a bronchoscope is passed through the mouth or nose into the lungs and fluid is squirted into a small part of the lung and then collected for examination.
• OXER1 is highly expressed by human white blood cells, particularly eosinophils and to a lesser extent neutrophils, basophils, and monocytes; by bronchoalveolar macrophages isolated from human bronchoalveolar lavage washings; Various types of human cancer cells lines express OXER1; these include those of the prostate, breast, lung, ovaries, colon, and pancreas.
• BLT2 receptor knockout mice exhibit attenuated ovalbumen-induced allergic airway eosinophilia and Interleukin 13 ( IL-13 ) content in their bronchoalveolar lavage fluid compared with wild type mice and CD4-positive T cells isolated from the knockout mice showed a reduction IL-13 production but there was no change in the bronchospasm response to ovalbumin in these mice.
